Lyrics:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bass, bass, bass, bass
Nasty
Three

With music by our side
To break the color lines
Let's work together to improve our way of life
Join voices in protest
To social injustice
A generation full of courage
Come forth with me

People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life? (Sing!)
We are a part of the rhythm nation (Whoo)
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers, we can get it right, one time
(Sing it up!)
We are a part of the rhythm nation (Yeah, ah)

This is the test
No struggle, no progress (Lend)
Lend a hand to help your brother do his best
Things are getting worse
We have to make 'em better
It's time to give a damn, let's work together (Come on now)

People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life? (Sing!)
We are a part of the rhythm nation (Rhythm)
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers, we can get it right, one time (Sing it up!)
We are a part of the rhythm nation (Everybody)
People of the world today (Rhythm)
Are we looking for a better way of life? (Rhythm)
We are a part of the rhythm nation (Yeah, yeah, everybody sing it)
People of the world unite (Rhythm)
Strength in numbers, we can get it right, one time (Rhythm)
We are a part of the rhythm nation (Yeah, yeah, yeah, whoo)

Bass, bass, bass, bass
Bass, bass, bass, bass, bass, ba-ba-ba-bass
